The Brazilian Ronaldo – the greatest player of all time?

The fat one. The old one. There are still plenty of people who remember him as the one: Il Fenomeno or – if you’re into the whole Edson Arantes de Nascimento thing – Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. Even before Cristiano, there were two Ronaldos: the one that returned after long-term injury in 2002 was a great goalscorer, but the 1990s version was a great everything. From 1995–98, O Fenomeno was simply unstoppable.. He was in his prime back then, scoring at will. His dribbling and close control was absolutely phenomenal, he had brute strength, his speed was lightning quick(he could sprint as fast as Robben in his prime), and his finishing was simply majestic..
